On the Issue of Trump’s Height
I have looked into this in more depth. Here is a citation relevant to the matter:
“A National Institute of Aging study that followed 2,084 men and women for 35 years found that they started losing height around age 30 and that the shrinking accelerated over time.
The study, which included people ages 17 to 94, found that the men, on average, lost 1.2 inches (3 centimeters), and the women lost 2 inches (5 cm), between age 30 and 70. By age 80, men had lost 2 inches (5 cm), and women had lost 3 inches (8 cm).”
I cited 2 Official Whitehouse medical reports that Trump’s height was 6’ 3”. The most recent was Feb. 2019. If this is accepted as true, then from the above, it looks like from age 70 to 80 (10 years), a man loses 0.8 of 1 inch in height.
There are 120 months in 10 years.
There are 65 months from Feb. 2019 to July 2024 (assassination attempt).
(65/120) x 0.8 = 0.433333333… of 1 inch.
I am quite happy to go with the 2019 report, minus this figure, which gives:
Trump’s Height = 6’ 2.5666”
I think some of the photos people are analysing are definitely far from conclusive.
Just my opinion.
